My book Drystone – A Life Rebuilt is out in just three weeks.
I really believe in this book. It’s honest about important things, quietly subversive, funny, easy to read, and I’ve poured everything into writing it and getting it into the world as far as I can.
If you can, I’d love your help. A share, a preorder, a message to someone who might love it, it all makes a difference.
Info and links below.
I finished Atmosphere on Saturday and, after sitting with it for a few days, I think it might be one of my favourite books ever.
I thought Taylor Jenkins Reid would struggle to surpass Seven Husbands but man, this does.
I really really hope this gets adapted (properly) for the big screen because the narrative deserves it.
Read it!
9/10*

The Safekeep by Yael van der Wouden - 7/10
I finished this gem yesterday and honestly, I was blown away.
I didn't expect to be so pulled into another post-war story but here I am! Thankfully, this one was queer with an interesting plot following the treatment of Jewish people in post-war Netherlands.
I learnt stuff, I enjoyed the pacing and act structure, and I would recommend!
I finished Some Desperate Glory over the weekend.
I think it's worth considering this novel as a dystopia.
What happens in a sci-fi future when the alt-right separate from the rest of humanity?
7.5/10
"The Remains of the Day" by: Kazuo Ishiguro
It is the summer of 1956, when Stevens, a man who has dedicated himself to his career as a perfect butler in the one-time great house of Darlington Hall, sets off on a holiday that will take him deep into the English countryside and, unexpectedly, into his own past, especially his friendship with the housekeeper, Miss Kenton.

🆕 blog! “Whatever happened to cheap eReaders?”
Way back in 2012, The Guardian reviewed an eInk reader which cost a mere £8.
The txtr beagle was designed to be a stripped-down and simplified eReader.
As far as I can tell, it never shipped. There were a few review units sent out but I can't find any evidence of consumers getting their hands on one. Also, that £8 price was t…

I'm dying over this reddit comment. Not saying that it is wrong but the framing of books as "old timey entertainment" is funny to me. Like my grandpa talking about farming using mules.
